      Alternate Names
      • Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha6 subunit
      Background InformationGamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor alpha 6 subunit (UniProt: E1BE96; also known as GABA A receptor alpha 6) is encoded by the GABRA6 gene (Gene ID: 539194) in bovine. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that inhibits the generation of the action potential of the neuron. It is involved in the pathogenesis of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders. GABA is produced from glutamic acid in a reaction catalyzed by glutamic acid decarboxylase. GABA interacts with the GABAA and GABAB receptors, which are widely distributed throughout the nervous system and in a variety of cell types. They differ in their pharmacological, electrophysiological, and biochemical properties. GABAA-receptor are pentameric membrane proteins that mediate an increase in membrane conductance with an equilibrium potential near the resting level of 70 mV. This conductance increase often is accompanied by a membrane hyperpolarization, which later results in a reduction in the probability of action potential initiation. The reduction in membrane resistance is accomplished by the GABA-dependent facilitation of chloride ion influx. Mos GABA A receptors contain one type of alpha and beta subunit, and a single gamma polypeptide in a ratio of 2:2:1. GABA A receptor alpha 6 subunit is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-19), which is cleaved off in the mature form. It contains four transmembrane domains (aa 240-262, 274-293, 305-328, and 423-441).
